From the 6th to the 19th century, quill pens were the principal writing instrument. Many calligraphers still consider a quill pen the best writing instruments because of the quill's ability to produce a fine line with none of the harsh qualities of a steel nib. The U.S. Supreme Court still uses 1200 quills a year, upholding a tradition it began in 1801.

The Quill Pen and Ink Set includes a finished feather quill, hand blown glass ink bottle tied with a red, white and blue ribbon, cork top, packaged dry ink, history and instructions for use.
